Crews restore power to morethan 75% of customersimpactedby Hurricane Beryl

Entergy Texas has safely restored power to more than 75% of customers impacted by Hurricane Beryl. As of 6:30 p.m., the company has successfully turned the lights back on for approximately 199,100 of the 252,460 customers impacted. The majority of customers who can safely take power are expected to be restored no later than Monday, July 15.

Asourrestoration crews continue to repair and rebuild parts of the company's electrical systemdamaged by Beryl, many variables impactthe time needed to make those repairs. For example, under normal circumstances, a standard residential neighborhood pole can be replaced in two to three hours if it'slocatedon the side of a road, or four to six hours if it'sin a more restricted access, rear-lotor alley. After a severe weather eventlike a hurricane, replacing a standard residential neighborhood pole could take significantly longer based on downed trees, flooding, or additionalhazardsin the area. Safetyremainsa core value for Entergy Texascrews, contractorsand customers, which is why the company encourages the community to stay away from work zones, flooded areas,and downed power lines.

The chart below shows the estimated restoration times for areas still without power from Hurricane Beryl. Estimated restoration times are based on current damage assessments and weather forecasts.
